From all the highs and lows of yesterday, leave your final thoughts/analysis/discussion/takeaways from yesterday’s game.
This thread is intended for level-headed, mindful discussion and less knee-jerk reactions. Keep this in mind before commenting.
As always DON’T BE A DAMN JAGOFF. Follow our rules. We all have different opinions and mindsets, but we’re all here to talk Steelers and see them succeed at the end of the day. Keep it cool.
All I know is these Tomlin press conferences have become damn near unbearable to listen to lol Criticizing the only portion of the team that keeps them in these games and dodging it for the portion of the team that goes 3 and out every drive. Let’s just keep it to injury updates and let him go about his day lol
Fire Matt Canada
This sub’s support of Kenny:
After a win: “He’s shown progression and has the potential to be our guy 🤔😁”
After a loss: “He’s shown regression and he’s not our guy 😑😡”
My judgement of Kenny has never changed. We have, and will have, no idea what Kenny is or isn’t under Canada. Rudolh, Big Ben, Titty Kisser, and Kenny. A dozen different receivers. really on 2 contants on our offence since the decline started. Canada, and a RB who’s production has declined every year. Most likely Canadas fault as well.
I mean that’s what happens when you have a young QB who’s shown limited upside and leads a putrid offense, but pulls wins out of his ass in the 4th quarter
Unless, you know, he doesn’t
OK - first play…if DJ catches that it’s probably a TD.
After that first play our offense utterly collapsed into a black hole until just before half time with the 93(?) yard drive that ended in a missed 61-yard FG that never should’ve been a 61-yard FG. It was at this time that KP died along with it what scant hopes and dreams we had for the remainder of the game.
The field conditions were…not ideal. Not sure if that contributed to Minkah’s injury, but DJ was out there slipping like he wasn’t wearing cleats.
To those of you saying that Kenny Pickett is not the answer, I say, you may be correct. You know who else is also not the answer? Mitch Turnover Trubisky. Lastly, I love Rudolph as a backup and all, but he’s essentially the same as Mitch but with less arm strength.
Minkah is out with a hamstring injury vs. the Titans and probably for the following week vs. the Packers. If not more. Our secondary is tertiary at best. JPJ honestly looks pretty convincing. But everyone else back there looks like hot fucking garbage most of the time. People are so wide open I could throw to them.
I have nothing bad to say about our pass rush. We were in the backfield most of the game. Please keep doing that, yes.
Our offensive line looked much worse yesterday.
Now onto the most important position - the guys in zebra stripes fucked us harder than…someone help me out here; I’m trying to describe it without sounding too gross. “We got fucked” doesn’t cover it, but the entire first half was the most inconsistent officiating I’ve seen in quite some time.
You can’t call RTP on the T-Law hit but not call it on the Kenny Pickett hit when he actually fucking got hurt and it was essentially identical. Get that shit the fuck out of here. The “offensive offsides” was honestly even more brutal. Bad enough that Boswell went ahead and called out the hot garbage.
From there we move onto the final bullet point for the Jags games. The fans. I haven’t been annoyed by fans that much during a losing contest in I don’t even know how long. Would we have won with competent officiating? I don’t know. Honestly? If the officiating had been on point and we did win I know it would’ve been an absolute nail-biter and I think it more likely to be a close loss than win.
Bottom line - I’m going to shit all over the Jags when they lose next time. Even more so if there’s bad calls. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Bring it
Our center is a fucking turnstile.
